Atlantic Gateway Accelerating Growth Across the Manchester and Liverpool City Regions Atlantic Gateway Accelerating Growth across the Manchester and Liverpool City Regions Framework for a Global Growth Opportunity LIVERPOOL MANCHESTER Executive Summary The Atlantic Gateway is a framework for collaboration between the Manchester and Liverpool city regions which will help to unlock their full sustainable economic growth potential. The city regions extend beyond the administrative boundaries of Greater Manchester and Merseyside to include the wider shared hinterland of both city regions across Warrington, Halton, Chester and northern Cheshire . The connected economic geography, with overlapping labour and housing markets, provides a unique opportunity for the Atlantic Gateway to become one of Europe’s leading low carbon, economic growth areas – second only to London within a UK context. The Atlantic Gateway will provide the critical mass for a globally-competitive urban area that can secure investment, develop infrastructure and attract and retain talent in an environment of sustainable growth. It has a critical role to play in the economic growth of the north of England, facing west to Ireland and international markets, north to Lancashire and East Lancashire, and west to the Leeds city region. Links to London and the South East will be further enhanced through new investment in rail infrastructure. The scale of the economy, the rationale for collboration and the pivotal location means that the Atlantic Gateway should form a key plank of the forthcoming Regional Strategy. The Atlantic Gateway seeks to draw on the area’s key assets – a range Focusing on: of high-growth economic sectors, well-located development sites, key sustainable infrastructure and a skilled workforce. It seeks to unlock and Improving global transport, freight support this potential, and most importantly, to do so in a way which and digital connectivity. supports sustainability and low carbon objectives.

As part of the wider city region geography, key towns across Gateway area. northern Cheshire have a strong contribution to make. The Gateway as a whole could deliver 250,000 new jobs and 400,000 new homes by 2030.

Within this context, the area leaders have committed to come together, supported by a group of senior officials, to take forward this strategic framework with the aim of driving growth for the UK and region by optimising the two city regions growth potential (see agreed actions for details). Leaders have agreed to take action together to: The Framework outlines how partners will work together to resolve common barriers and challenges to growth faced across the Gateway area.

A Global Growth The framework extends beyond the administrative boundaries of Opportunity for the UK Merseyside and Greater Manchester which includes Warrington, Halton, Chester and Northern Cheshire. The growth of the global economy is unprecedented. By 2020 UK Trade with India alone will be worth $60 billion and even with the recession, India/China GDP is expected to double by 2020. For the UK to become a serious player in this new economy, key city regions such as Manchester and Liverpool have a vital contribution to make. There is a clear need for other parts of the UK to complement the economic drive of London and the South East, rebalance the UK economy and to make a real contribution to that global growth. An Opportunity of Scale There is a unique opportunity. By thinking about the combined potential of the wider Manchester and Liverpool city regions, the Atlantic Gateway can become an economic growth area of international significance – ranking among Europe’s strongest urban economies. 30 miles The distance between Liverpool and Manchester lie beneath the Pennines, only 30 miles apart Liverpool and Manchester at a centrally located point of the UK. The area also benefits from the strengths of individual towns and assets, across Greater Manchester, 6 million Population of the Liverpool Merseyside, Warrington, Halton, Chester and northern Cheshire. and Manchester city regions including Warrington, Halton and North Cheshire The Atlantic Gateway will provide the critical mass for a globally-competitive urban area that can secure investment, develop infrastructure and attract 250,000 New jobs and retain talent in an environment of sustainable growth. It provides £50 billion The annual economic the opportunity to create a sustainable, economic growth zone of true contribution of the Atlantic Gateway international significance. area – equivalent to Singapore The combined population of the Atlantic Gateway would be in the order 75,000 VAT-registered businesses of six million residents, which places it alongside some of the most currently based in the area important city regions in Europe in terms of scale (see map on next page). 400,000 New homes in the area by 2030 Together, Liverpool, Manchester and the interconnected network of smaller cities and towns, which make up the Atlantic Gateway, offer 1.4 million Resident population workforce the greatest potential for a sustainable economic growth zone outside – 500,000 with higher level skills of the South East. Primary Objective The primary objective of the Atlantic Gateway Framework is to support and accelerate Manchester and Liverpool city regions’ growth strategies. These include Manchester’s pilot Statutory City Region status and strategy and Liverpool city region’s Multi Area Agreement and the Cheshire & Warrington sub regional agenda. The Framework recognises that both of these city regions operate across a wider, shared geography, which covers the areas of Warrington, Halton and northern Cheshire. These areas lie beyond the respective administrative boundaries of Greater Manchester and Merseyside, but have a key role to play in unlocking the future sustainable growth of the city regions. It is important to emphasise that the Atlantic Gateway Framework seeks to complement, support and accelerate the delivery of the two city regions’ growth plans. Driven by public sector leaders from across the two city regions, the Framework seeks to contribute to and inform discussions relating to the emerging RS2010, without in any way ‘short- circuiting’ or prejudging the final content of the regional plan. Immediate The Atlantic Gateway proposals cover a wide range of action. However, Priorities for Action we are making the case that this part of the UK has the potential, if we are clear about how we need to focus investment, to help drive national economic growth. This is a bold and unique collaboration across city regions that demonstrates the maturity of partnership that has been developed. Growth is a common objective. The projects (left) have been identified by the areas leaders as early Media City priorities (further detail on the specific projects is presented later in the Daresbury document). These are projects where there is gateway-wide support and where there is a clear case for collaboration around infrastructure, funding, Post Panamax Facility planning and leadership.

  • PRESS RELEASE UK's Drive to Net Zero Leaps Forward As Hynet North
    -- Embargoed until 00:01am Wednesday 17 March 2021 -- PRESS RELEASE 17 March 2021 UK’s drive to net zero leaps forward as HyNet North West awarded substantial funding. Following a commitment of £72 million of funding, HyNet North West will transform the North West into the world’s first low carbon industrial cluster, playing a critical role in the UK’s transition to ‘net zero’ greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and the global fight against climate change. HyNet North West is essential for UK Government to deliver several objectives within its 10- point plan for a green industrial revolution, as well as the local net zero targets of Cheshire West & Chester in 2045, Liverpool City Region in 2040 and Greater Manchester in 2038. The North West industrial cluster region stretches from Flintshire and Wrexham, through Cheshire, Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester into Lancashire. It boasts the largest concentration of advanced manufacturing and chemical production in the UK and is home to a concentration of energy intensive users. The HyNet North West hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) project is being developed by a world-class consortium of regionally located partners, Progressive Energy, Cadent, CF Fertilisers, Eni UK, Essar, Hanson, INOVYN (part of the INEOS Group) and the University of Chester. From 2025, HyNet North West will begin to convert natural gas into low carbon hydrogen at Stanlow Refinery, with carbon dioxide safely captured and stored offshore in the Liverpool Bay gas fields. A new pipeline network will transport the clean hydrogen to power industry, fuel buses, trains and heavy goods vehicles, to generate electricity, and to heat homes across North West England and North Wales.

  • NZNW Economic Investment Prospectus
    ECONOMIC INVESTMENT PROSPECTUS Funded by 1 FOREWORD - JOIN US FOR THE NORTH WEST’S DECARBONISATION JOURNEY Decarbonising the economy in the North West is critical to the success of the UK achieving its net zero target. We were the cradle of the first industrial revolution and must now be the powerhouse of the fourth digital and sustainable industrial revolution. The North West has the ingenuity, the skills and the passion to deliver on this vital transformation at the scale and speed needed to succeed. This is not a technology challenge but a policy one and it’s time now for Government, National and local, to make good on their policies to lead on decarbonisation. Carl Ennis, Chairman, Net Zero North West and CEO, Siemens GB & Ireland If we get serious now about the climate crisis, it will also help us tackle the post-pandemic jobs crisis. There are tens of thousands of good green jobs just waiting to be created across the North West – in retrofitting our buildings, modernising our energy systems, and decarbonising our transport. Now is absolutely the time to make that happen. We are outlining our vision to achieve a net zero North West by at least 2040, 10 years ahead of the national target. Benchmarks like these not only give us something to aim at – they also demand meaningful commitments and urgent action. Together, we hope to build a movement to make the North West the country’s leading force in the zero-carbon economy. We are all already working together and developing detailed energy and environment plans for our places which can meet our collective ambitions.
